This window was broken, so I replaced the glass with a pieces of chalkboard.

I had intended on just using it for messages, but I really do love having a black smooth surface for vinyl, so I turned it into a sign. I guess it can still be used for little messages as well...perhaps sharing moments of our day that make us happy.

This is another chalkboard sign. The frame is made out of barn wood.

The inside edge was routed so the sign would fit nicely inside.

This vinyl is for sale for $5+shipping if you'd like to recreate this project. It fits on a 9" square.

And finally, a chalkboard that can actually be used as a chalkboard! This antique window was $2 at a garage sale. I fell in love with the panels and the gorgeous original hardware.

I listened to a talk this weekend about making your spouse the most important person in your life, only second to God. It really touched my heart and made me question myself. Am I giving my best time and attention and energy to my husband? Probably not. Can I improve? Most certainly. Is it worth the effort? YES! I want to hold on to the love that we have. I want to make it stronger. I want to grow old with my true love and share every part of my life with him. I want to spend years creating our laugh lines together and when I look at my wrinkly self in the mirror, I want to smile and think of the memories we've shared and our future together.
